Better check again ..... Best offense in the MAC returning with the most prolific passing QB. Depth on defense spells 9 to 10 win season with another Bowl Appearance for the Cardinals.
You talk it... bring it. We will walk it.
See you fools in the post season ...or.... not ! For You. Rubber Bowl blowout coming to AKRON. Write this name down "Nate Davis" yea.. say it slow and then watch the show !!
Yea real nice work down at the GMAC bowl against Tulsa . Hows that for some dynamite up your Falcons. BA - BOOM !!!!!
You'll have enough trouble with Temple, Buffalo and Miami Oh. Doubt if you'll be bowling soon Ziggy ! Not to mention the ZIPS.
Just lean on Ball State for your MAC representative this season. We dont mind. Looks like a 10 win season for Nate the great and his offensive wizards !!
